Given how bad people are with the fencepost problem in practice... (Each pair of fenceposts covers 1-yard (or meter) of distance. How many meters does 100 fenceposts cover?), I'd say humans normally don't think of intervals very much.
Instead, we programmers have to think of intervals way more than other humans. So we need to develop systems and shortcuts for our brain to handle these cases quickly, concisely, and then move onto the next problem immediately.
